Fiera Capital A
Fiera Capital Corporation is an employee-owned investment management firm that provides services to a diverse client base, including institutional investors, mutual funds, charitable organizations, and private clients. The company constructs and manages segregated equity, fixed income, and balanced portfolios tailored to client needs. Additionally, it originates and oversees its own equity, fixed income, and balanced mutual funds and income trusts. The firm's investment scope extends across global public equity and fixed income markets, with a pronounced emphasis on Canada. Within equities, Fiera Capital predominantly seeks growth and value opportunities among small-capitalization companies. It also allocates capital to large-cap companies demonstrating growth at a reasonable price (GARP) and value characteristics, alongside investments in income trusts and preferred shares. Fiera Capital integrates responsible investing into its process by applying fossil fuel free exclusions, thoroughly considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, and implementing an ethical investment filter. Its equity portfolios are built using a bottom-up stock-picking methodology, informed by both fundamental and quantitative analysis. Fixed income investments are guided by a top-down macroeconomic research approach. All investment decisions are supported by robust internal research. The firm also diversifies into alternative investments, notably employing a long/short equity strategy. Performance is benchmarked against recognized indices such as the S&P/TSX Index, MSCI ACWI Index, S&P/TSX Composite FFF Index, and S&P 500. Beyond traditional securities, Fiera Capital invests in social infrastructure, focusing on affordable housing and community healthcare facilities. It also commits capital to renewable energy projects like solar and wind power generation, transportation, and mid-market assets, primarily within Canada. Established in 2002 as Fiera Sceptre Inc., Fiera Capital Corporation is headquartered in Montréal, Canada, with further Canadian operations in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver.
